All LED Indoor Grow- Quantum Boards vs AutoCob's

[Evil-Mobo]

I can't wait for my slate 3, I'm contemplating for next year to add some cobs on the slate 3 in the middle. A QB/ cob rig sounds like the tits!

Everything in the garden looks great!
What are you gonna feed the girls in tupur with ?

I would caution you on that as it could create a heat spot in the center. Just make sure you plan or correctly. With the light distribution you get from the QB in smaller grows like ours I just don't see the point of adding COB's.

The girls in Tupur will be fed ionic grow and bloom and in bloom will have hydroplex for a booster. I also have Epsom salt in standby should I need it I have not needed cal.mag at this spot with ionic and source water so far so we will see. Do have some on hand just in case.

Nice thread, thank you for sharing.

Do you have a verdict on QB vs COB LEDs?

Not yet I will need some more time with both. Right now it's very close and I would say the grow setup would determine which is best. No two grows are ever alike. When I feel I have enough time with each I will definitely post my thoughts.

Nothing too major today, the GG#4 transplant seems to be adjusting well to her new #3 of Tupur. The rest of the cuts look healthy. I cleaned up my 3x3 with the QB that has been down and put my Satori male in there as there have been complaints of smell in the basement lol.

As for my seeds so far today (1) Blue Harley and (2) Skywalker were poppin through the dirt in the jiffy cups. Time to see what sprouts and what doesn't.......

I did some general housekeeping stuff that needed to be done and also sprayed my Captain Jack's Deadbug today on everything in veg and the male in his new spot.

Man that's gorgeous thanks for parking the pics here for me will be easy to reference now when they pop and start growing

Man I'm like a kid @ xmas right now I know it's silly but this whole pheno hunting and breeding thing intrigues me so much. A lot going on in the garden here for how small it is LOL me and my damn hyperactivity/OCD

Too much finger hash, missed this post - lol Yeah that's the pheno you're looking for, great structure, easy to pick out from the others, good luck

OCD can be a good thing when focused on something productive... like gardening

The therapeutic benefits of growing the plant are a great addition to the high of medicating on your own stuff.

Went to check in on the garden a bit ago everyone seems fine and on cruise control for what's going on for them now. The QB in veg has had no ill effects at all on the plants despite twice the wattage as the (2) COB's. I will need to transplant my SBA cuts and the second GG#4 to #3's soon. The seedlings are starting to sprout up, have (2) Skywalkers above dirt, (1) Blue Harley, and I already see (1) of my Doggie Dreams starting to push through. Getting exciting around here for sure now.




Here's the narcotic Kush flushing out nicely, she's doing well spread out for the light thanks for the idea @ttystikk Still too many white hairs and clear trichs so she's not ready despite the yellowing leaves lol.







And here's the Satori male in the QB tent doing his thing bouncing back from the defoliation. He's gonna need to be fed and watered later today and a transplant soon lol.........




Thanks for checking in

Why is the narco Kush yellowing like that? Did you stop giving it nutes? Every time I do that I regret it lol

It's an auto brother, she's doing her thing she decided it's time to flush when I see that with my auto's I start giving water only if I was running nutes and let mother nature do it's thing. She's a seed plant so I'm more concerned with the seeds maturing than perfect beautiful buds. But yes never grown this one before and she's done some strange stuff lol but I just want the beans as I think the cross with her has the potential to be one of my strongest strains.........

Garden update for tonight. More general house keeping I made the commitment to Tupur tonight as I tossed out all my dirt not being used makes me nervous some of that was my own mix used for no till........

This is an attempt to help control smell as there won't be dirt lying around with decomposing fan leaves on the top etc.

Anyways, I topped off the narcotic Kush with plain water and tied back one cola out of the way of another and rotated her as well. She should be done soon don't want to rush it and not let seeds mature ......if I had not pollinated her I feel she would have given me the four zips I wanted. Happy I chose her as a mom.



My satori male is growing back nicely after the defol but a little pale and hungry. I had let him dry out real good. He got watered and fed tonight as well as a foliar feed. So did the plants in the veg closet.



Tonight the feed was: source water (EC 0.2), full power @ 20ml/gallon, Ionic grow @ 4 teaspoons/gallon, and the cal mag from nectar of the gods @ 1 teaspoon/gallon. I PH'd to 6.4 and the EC was 2.0. EC spiked because of cal mag product and twice the feed of last time. They all looked hungry today and this is what I felt was the proper course of action.

The veg closet is looking good. I have two Skywalkers sprouted so far as well as a Blue Harley and one of my Doggie Dreams is popping through. We shall see how the seeds keep progressing. My two clones of SBA and one other GG#4 that are in #1 pots could use an up pot soon but I want to wait on the Skywalker autos first to make sure I have enough tupur. I still have some ffof I can use for the clones if need be but want to make sure the entire Skywalker run is Tupur to keep it consistent between both tents.



And last but not last a shot of the chemdogging still curing in the bucket with the boveda pack. Looking through quickly not all the smaller buds have seeds so I pulled one for a smoke tonight and I'm in heaven wow this is good especially for a seeded plant. First time having chem dawg of any kind and now I see why people like it so much.





I need to go through this now little by little and harvest my seeds as there's the narcotic Kush finishing that will be seeds as well. But got all the other miscellaneous out of the way feels good to be caught up and tidying up after getting backed up due to guest here.

Thanks for checking in

impressive pictures,,, so much goodness

Thank you sir, need to figure out how to better focus the cell camera on the nug shots pics don't do them justice lol...........

like the spray bottle picture

Thanks I just thought it puts this into perspective for folks, it's an auto, and seeded because of breeding. Had I left her for buds she would be massive. Two of these in each tent and you have a pound of weed or more every 60 days...............And I'm running 500 watts max between both tents lol...........

60 days seed to harvest??

Very cool. I didn't think even autos went that fast from seed to harvest! I'll be quite curious what your final weight is from your grow.

Me too but let's remember she's full of seeds it was a breeding project so she won't have a huge bud yield........the next run (if they all pop) while we wait on the photo period girls in veg will be Skywalker autos from Mephisto, two have sprouted of six so far. Not stressing it right on schedule. Plan is (3) per tent to test the QB vs the COB's. Then I can go to the photo periods and choose what to flower out.

So far the auto's I have grown under the LED's have been small yielding strains (but strong personal meds) and the yields although small were on the top end of the breeders description. And the quality of my buds vs my HID's on these auto's has been out standing, especially the frost.

If the yields are there with the photo period plants I might not be turning on an HID again.......lol...........

What type of yields did you see from previous auto harvests?

In my other thread you can see my sour hound harvest under my 600W Blue MH:

I'm no pro, only been growing for barely over a year. I am just trying to show people even on small scales as a small home grower you can do some cool stuff and grow some dank weed. My yields keep getting better every run and so does the quality and potency of my smoke. I have a lot of free time being home ill so this keeps me entertained especially testing so much different stuff it's fun.

And now I am growing for two as my little cousin became ill and she says my flowers are making chemo tolerable.
